PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria firefighters and emergency medical personnel were called just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the 2700 block of W. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive for a single-vehicle accident with rollover and entrapment.
Fire Battalion Chief Tom Sander said crews found a pickup truck on its top in a ditch with the driver still inside unable to move. A passenger got out of the truck before crews arrived, and was treated by paramedics, then taken by ambulance to a hospital.
The Jaws of Life were used to gain access to the driver, who was also taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Both occupants’ injuries were believed to be serious, but not life-threatening.
